 We got adopted. Over the years, I came to know what really happened. She had a son when she was 17. The way she saw things going, it wasn't a good environment to raise a kid. The fact that she did that just shows how strong of a woman my mother is, and I thank her each and every day for it. I wouldn't be the person who I am today, and I like the person I am today. I knew I was loved and I was part of a family, so that was what's important to me. For more information, visit iChooseAdoption.org. I'm Christoph. And I'm Christopher. And our mom chose adoption.
